TOP Food & Drug – in partnership with its customers – is helping to provide donated school supplies for foster children in King County.
When customers buy and donate a backpack at a TOP Food & Drug store for $9.99 through Sept. 13, the store will fill the backpack with $21 worth of school supplies, including paper, pencils, crayons, a binder and a ruler.
The backpacks filled with supplies will be distributed to foster children by Treehouse for Kids.
